Sony ULT FIELD 3 Portable Speaker vs JBL Charge 6

The JBL Charge 6 is the stronger all-rounder: 28 hours of battery, a built-in powerbank, IP67 drop-proofing and Auracast multi-speaker pairing make it the better pick for long trips and group listening. The Sony ULT FIELD 3 is the more hand-friendly option, built to be carried in one hand with a stowable shoulder strap, and it leans harder into bass. Both are waterproof and dustproof and both rate well with owners; the JBL wins on stamina and features, the Sony on grab-and-go portability.

• Choose the Sony ULT FIELD 3 if you want a bass-forward speaker you can grab in one hand and sling over your shoulder, and you don't need a powerbank or very long playtime.
• Choose the JBL Charge 6 if you want the longest playtime, a built-in powerbank to top up your phone, drop-proofing and Auracast pairing with other JBL speakers.
